The June Crop Report.
Washington Critic

The June returns of the department of
agriculture indicates a reduction of near
ly ? per cent. in the area of winter wheat.
Changes in the acreage of states are very
slight, except in Kansas, where a reduc-
ton of p per cent is reported, caused by
bad harvests and low prices. The spring
wheat area has been enlarged 8 per cent.
from immigration and farm-making
west of the Mississippi in the districts
trsversed by the Northern Pacific rail-
road. Most of the increase is in Dakota,
which reports an increment of 81 per
cent. The total area of wheat Is about
100000 acres, q fraction of l per
cent. more than that of the previous
crop.
In the condition OF winter wheat there
is no marked change, the average being
$40, reduction of 9 of l per cent. In
1886, the June average was 1921. Reports
OF June straw are very numerous. In
some districts there are indications that
the yield of grain will be larger proper
tionally than OF straw. If there is no in
crease from this cause, the yield must be
less than an average The harvest Is
already IN progress up to the thirty-eighth
degree of north latitude
The condition of spring wheat is good
in Dakota, and territories westward, but
below the average in Wisconsin, Mimi
esota, Iowa and Nebraska. The general
average for spring wheat is S7.3, lower
than in recent years, but Is points higher
than in 1881 At harvesting last year
condition averaged so.
Dry weather in April has been iniur-
ious to winter wheat Insects have COM
mitted greater depredations than usual.
The area of winter rye has been dinin-
